Just a quick update on our family/moving/living/surviving situation.
We officially and tearfully left Des Moines on Friday-sniff, sniff. We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!) in Kansas City, and had so much fun! Pictures will follow once I get my own computer up and running again. We made the L-O-N-G drive on into Amarillo Saturday-for the last time for a long time! We're staying with my gracious parents and were hoping to close on our house this Thursday, but the owner of the home is in China. Why am I surprised? We may have to wait to close for another week, but we're in the final stages and we're all together, what could be more important!?
*Side story: I have obviously been a little distracted with the move and everything involved. One afternoon, I was making the kids lunch and Benton was right at my legs whining and even crying around a little. I finally stopped making lunch, looked down at him and asked, "Benton, what do you want?", he tearfully looked into my eyes and said "YOU!". I chuckled as the realization of his honesty knocked a hole in my heart. Of course I sat down and held him until HE was ready to move on. Lunch can wait, Packing can wait, Laundry can wait, Everything can wait when my kids need ME! I had to think that our Heavenly Father must feel like doing that to us sometimes. Saying, "I just need YOU!". Remember to give your time to what matters most!

Hey, glad you got to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge! Sounds like a blast!
ReplyDeleteBenton is such a cutie. I love that story.
